ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

"There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." -BSG

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

Underrated in the discourse in LA county - the actual number of immigrants detained are like, under 100? Let's be clear - what Trump is doing isn't about deporting immigrants, it is about punishing speech against deporting immigrants. They want it to be politically toxic, if not overly illegal.

AJC also came out against the Muslim ban in Trump's first term. Jewish orgs are not fooled by games of persecution done in our name. People who make lists inevitably put Jews on them.

GOOD NEWS: Arab media reports that Hamas is losing control of Gaza. Gazans have reportedly taken over warehouses where Hamas was stockpiling stolen aid. Without that aid, Hamas lacks the funds to recruit new terrorists and can no longer control the population through food.

Hamas responded to the Witkoff proposal by demanding that the release of hostages be spread over more weeks and phases than originally planned. Bringing up new demands to a proposed deal already agreed by everyone is, essentially, saying no.

There are real problems and failures among the so-called "moderate" Palestinian factions. But an Israel led by someone with a vision instead of a fear would understand what kind of opportunity the Saudis are offering here. Netanyahu just prefers Palestinians divided and the conflict frozen.

I'm going to re-up this. Every Dem in the country needs to study the messaging here, especially "progressive" NIMBYs in Seattle. Want to stick it to landlords? Allow for the construction of more housing. Want to fight displacement? Build more housing.

Obviously the extreme antisemitism is worse, but it's also worth noting that Ingrassia is 30 years old and three years out of law school. One thing unbearable thing about this administration is how it elevates people who have NO qualifications for these positions other than being MAGA hacks.

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

How many people shared Hamas propaganda claiming Israel was starving Palestinians? And how many shared the truth yesterday, when Palestinians were seen raiding a Hamas warehouse stocked with months of hidden aid? And then you wonder why Jews are being shot in the streets.

Dunno why this hits me just right, but Hugh Everett III (originator of what we now call multiverse theory) left behind a bunch of stuff that his surviving child packed up and moved to his basement. Decades later, he opened it.

Kind of feels like this comment section makes his point. He brings up Walz and I feel it because there are all these people frothing at the mouth trying to justify being shitty about a kid. Definitely feels like we could use a step back, deep breath, and a reminder to be normal.

It only took Israeli battlefield success for Amnesty to finally say what they and everyone else has known for years: Hamas oppresses Palestinian civilians. I'm glad it's finally happening, but they did the bidding of Hamas for years before it. Will there ever be accountability?

This is a fascinating thread. I love when people take the time to try to understand a different perspective; even if that perspective doesn't convince you, you can usually learn something from it.

Netanyahu says he "hopes" to make an announcement on the hostages soon. I think our Prime Minister is a little confused about his English, so let me help. Hoping is what the hostage families have been doing for nearly 600 days while working tirelessly to bring their families home.

The families of the 41 hostages murdered in captivity gathered today to push for a deal and warn against the continuation of military operations in Gaza. Since October 7th, 2023, 140 hostages have returned through negotiations, and 8 have returned through military operations.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
